How anyone can be so heartless, knowing how many perished as a result of the Spanish flown outbreaks beats me.

Who, deserving? and why? Or was that "just a joke"? If so could you explain it, I don't understand. It reads more like a random shock-producer.

Sir Vivian Ernest Fuchs FRS[1] (11 February 1908 – 11 November 1999) was an English explorer whose expeditionary team completed the first overland crossing of Antarctica in 1958.

I recognised the surname and the polar bit and I can now remember the news items. The details came from Wikipedia

I remember the name Vivien Fuchs , but why do you suddenly bring that out of the blue ?IAlthough some of your posts are a bit Jejune. If I may be so bold !!!

I do quite like them however .
